Just to put it out there: The Cutty Sark at one time held the speed record for transport between Britain and Australia until steam ships outstripped her.
@Jeff David encountered the Angels only once, in Blink. They only sent people back in time, that's how the episode worked. Before the start of the episode, they got the doctor and Martha and sent them back to 1969. The DVD easter eggs the doctor uses to communicate with Sally were created with the help of a cop she asked to investigate the matter. The angels got him and sent him back to 1969 as well where he started working with the doctor and concluded the loop, creating the easter eggs Sally had already seen. The doctor specifically told Sally that they make their victims "live to death". The neck-snapping was all Moffat.
Thank you so much for uploading all of these!! Just discovered the Big Fat Quizzes in the last couple weeks and have burning through them. Love having a whole new batch to watch!
This person is a life saver for Americans 🏈 🤠 omg this is the emojis that come up when I type American... I assure you I'm not a cowboy nor do I like football... 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I swear I’ve just thought of the best show ever made… a buddy cop show where Noel and Brand are goth detectives, David and Rob are their goth interns, Jonathan is their goth police captain, Jimmy is their upbeat, energetic, murderous, Christian nemesis, and Lily Allen plays Lily Allen and is always just slightly out of focus in every scene that Jimmy is in but she spends the entire show just trying to convince Jimmy to sleep with her and offers him fish and chips while chugging cans.
Fun Fact: According to Wikipedia, Lily Allen announced in December 2007 that she was pregnant. So it's entirely likely that as of this recording, she was in fact pregnant. Should have listened to her own song.
@DatGrrl but it's a topical quiz about current events, they have questions about events that happened in december but youre saying they filmed this in June or July..?
These programmes are filmed over six months prior to airing as proven with the airing of this year's BFQ almost one year after filming...buy a bigger helmet...
These are generally filmed right after Christmas, in this case 2007's BFQ was aired on Decemer 30th, so if she announced it in December then yeah, it's not entirely likely. She WAS pregnant.
Jonathan's comments were so creepy. Acting like he has to protect her and calling her sexually attractive in the same breath he saying he's an uncle figure....feel bad that no one told him to fuck off. Maybe she just wanted to sit near the cool young people she can relate to.
The kids are the highlight of every show. "You better sort your life out mate!" "OK!" And they leave it at that. I just can't imagine adult actors pulling off lines like that.
That was an unsettlingly good impression of David Mitchell from Rob Brydon...i wasn't watching at the time he did it and thought David was talking for a second
i just can not imagine paul mccartney being an asshole, he always looks like the happy funny and polite man, i bet when if i met him on the street, and i ask for a photo and a autograph, he'd do it, and be happy to take his time
"If she's done nothing but charity for the past 20 years it proves she's never had to get a job." the truth in this statement is so real I could take a bite, digest it, and pass a little truth nugget
she's likely a stay at home mom which is an unpaid job in of itself. there's a reason some men make their wives stay at home and it's because they can't do both at the same time and do it well.
Oof watching that lily Allen thing when Johnathan Ross called her sexy she looked uncomfortable, and how they discussed rape etc this is just so different to now, I mean this was an era where calling someone gay was a part of every conversation
@Themis88 Nahhhhh, Jimmy Carr getting Cat Deeley to "kiss it better" for David Walliams was worse. And as someone else said, the Mel B episode is definitely worse.
@Themis88 Hah. Did you end up watching the one with Mel B? I haven't even brought myself to rewatch it. Unequivocally the worst guest in the show's history
May I ask after something serious along the foreign affairs line? The Iranian return of British sailors put me in mind of it: If we in the west respect national sovereignty so much, how is it we're constantly jeopardizing it with our naval deployments and increasingly encroaching missile batteries in NATO? We'd never allow another country to patrol our waters as we do or set up shop with their missiles so close to our borders, so why do we have the mindset that it's of no consequence when we do it? Is it to act as a deterrent that other nations don't do the same, a way to excuse the enormous expenditures of expanding militaries, give them something to do, or an excuse to justify the increasing growth of military spending? This bugs me some, like we're not actually policing the world, but antagonizing it to stay in business, doing something we wouldn't allow any other nation to do to us. Some absolutist part inside just views this practice as an excuse to violate other nations' sovereignty, as a threat that's inhibiting it. If we're so enamored with the idea of sovereignty, why are we always threating to violate it? Guess self-protectionism and national security outweighs ethics at times. Seems like we'd be just as well-protected, though, were we to keep to our borders instead of policing other's. It's not like these other countries have no idea of our military might were they to launch an excursion of conquest. Think those days are largely behind us. Guess we're protecting allies who aren't able to protect themselves more than we're protecting ourselves, yet it still seems we're just trolling the waters for capitalistic and commercial interests more than seeking to secure international safety for trade. Maybe, they just go hand-in-hand, yeah? Can't have one without the other. Still, can't imagine a world where another nation was doing it for these purposes and we'd be completely happy being under their protection. Reckon I'm just wondering if we're doing this right. We probably are, but why does it feel like we aren't, like we're taking advantage, like we're dismissing more productive and less costly ways of accomplishing it all, like we aren't seeking parity, but are still seeking dominion over other nations? That's all, that's all that's on my mind. Could use some feedback on this, if anyone's so inclined. But for now, back to the show... Cheers.
You are indeed correct. The outcome of this policy we can see today, If we look at Russia and how this very dangerous war started, it was that the west encroached on her borders with NATO weapons being deployed along the border of Ukraine. Russia warned for a number of years about what was happening, this was ignored and here we are. The news tends to be quiet about that bit, making it look like Russia just got up one day, said oh nothing to do let's go to war. Remember the west going mad in the 60s over Cuba, well this is just the same. Also, strange how we take prisoners and others take hostages. The language used is always to pervert the people's view of the other nation.
British Pantomime. Rather hard to explain but if you look it up you can see examples. It’s essentially an interactive stage production based on a mash up of all sorts of children’s nursery rhymes and fairy tales. Lots of cross dressing and generally adults getting to play dress up. Very uniquely British tradition (at least the modern version of it).
Wow - how times change, eh? Imagine a show now where 6 straight white men spend the first 10 minutes making rape jokes around, and sometimes alluding to, a solitary 22 year old woman. I don't think even Carr could pull that off in 2022.
@Wf Coaker I'm not entirely sure about how abstract thought would change the meaning or intent of a joke, but then again, I don't think you do either. Rather, I surmise that you think using a word like 'abstract' makes you sound intelligent. In actual fact, it makes you sound like someone who does not understand the meaning of the word 'abstract'.
